The Story:

On the run and fighting for your life, you are freelance journalist Matt Carter. Twelve hours after arriving in Moscow for a routine story, you've been stripped of all possessions, beaten unconscious and thrown into the KGB's political prison. Caught in the midst of an international conspiracy that aims to control the U.S.S.R., you are now on your own behind the "Iron Curtain". Using only recovered weapons and improvised gadgets, you must now evade and eliminate special Soviet forces and defeat the conspiracy or risk being either killed or sent to a remote Siberian prison camp.

Key Features:

Spy on your enemies through walls with the powerful and deadly X-ray camera

I give this game 7/10. This game seems to be stealth game but in later levels you can play it like Call of Duty and the stealth system in this game is not good too. The good things about this game are twisted and excited story, many creative tools that you can craft them and I like idea of camera that can use as weapon as well plus the fact that main character is reporter making this idea is very creative.

At best its an average stealth game, At worst its a terrible over the shoulder shooter.

I can't recommend this game unless you are a big stealthis/spy junky, and even then don't spend more than a few bucks.

The game starts off pretty well with stealth missions, but then dumps tons of nonsense on you.You go from decent stealth missions, to poorly made missions where you are under a timer and have enemies literally spawning in on you, then afterwards it turns into a awkward gun battles as your enemies use a cover system you don't have access to.

You can tell this game was overbudget and where the rush to finish job begins.

It's no bad game. Like maybe 6.5-7/10. But be aware that it's a way outdated (made in 2005), and even then it wasn't able to compete with Splinter Cell.Why buy it? Well, it's cheap, and it's spy-story stealth game. You can pass without killing, by fabricating your own devices like rubber bullets, silencers and ether mines from a junk and using cool x-ray camera to look behind, well, almost everything. Oh, if you remember old James Bond game, Nightfire - sorry, it's not That cool.Just keep in mind that there are great games for this genre, like NOLF or Deus Ex, and there are some mediocre and generic, like this one or that JB Nightfire I've mentioned. Best of luck for you, anyways!

I have to confess, this game was just a ridiculous amount of fun. It felt like I was interacting in a cheesy spy novel, and it did a good job at it. Well, this is a third person stealth/action shooter. The first six to eight levels are more stealth oriented, but once the Russion Special Forces, (spetsnaz) are sent after you, you can pretty much kiss stealth goodbye. It's all shooting from there. It implements a system where you can collect gadgets lying around like rags, alarm clocks, plastic bottles, cans, chemicles, ect. and McGyver them into cheep tools for temporary use. For example, you can use a plastic bottle and rag at the end of your barrel for a cheep, disposible silencer. You can also make explosives, paralyzing chemicle agents, and other completely implausible but fun innovations. But not to worry. It is a very easy system to pick up with very little learning curve. The story is told through a series of comic book-like cutsceens between missions with corny, voice-acted Russian accents that, (in my opinion) adds a lot of charm to this game. I found myself drawn into it and empathizing with the characters. Also I loved the ending! This game is cheep, the controls are very good, the graphics are great for 2005, there is a quicksave system as opposed to a checkpoint saving system, and I ask you: what other game allows you to have a shootout inside of Lenin's tomb? This game has a lot of atmopshere and I highly recommend it. Honestly, if there is anything even remotely negative I can think to say about it, it is that the character moves kind of slow, and has a lot of wide open ground to cover. The sprint system only works for a few moments before your character gets tired and has to rest, so traveling while sprinting isn't too much faster in the long run than walking. Traveling from one side of a map to another can be a bit tedious. But this is a very minor complaint. This game is a definite winner.

Cold War is a 2005 made, parodic stealth action game. It is some kind of 3rd person view No One Lives Forever with hand-made gadgets which starring a journalist. It was really good first. I even planned to recommend it to you, but then, i got bored because of some problems and changed my mind. There are some summarized pros. and cons. below:

Pros

+ Story is interesting enough+ Graphics are already outdated but it isn't ugly at all.+ Some unique attractions like gadget crafting and X-Ray camera

Neutral

No widescreen support. Control scheme a little bit weird and dull, but somewhat useful as well. Especially setting your walking speed with mouse wheel is a good idea. Music is OK but repetitive.

Cons

- Stealth is a little bit dull. You can't do so much actions for best stealth results. Furthermore, at the last half of the game, say goodbye to stealth.- Characters you control can't run. They pretend to do so but they seems like they are taking a stroll on the park. Any NPC runs well though.- Aiming is bad. You can't change shoulders while aiming, so, time by time you can't see the target properly.- You're playing on same locations over and over again.- Planting gadgets like mines is deceptive. You have to stop the desired plant location first, then you have to highlight the gadget on the menu and left click to insta-plant.- Background sound effects are annoying.- A frustrating bug on Meltdown level ( spoiler: When you try to stop meltdown in Chernobyl, you have to press two buttons and start the crane, right? Be careful, you have to use these buttons first or else... you can't use crane again. That means you need to restart the level. )

After all, it worth for $1,25 but don't expect too much. Especially after the last half, quality of the game started to decrease in my humble opinion.

The gripping tale of a wizard photographer in Soviet-era Russia where everyone has severe hearing issues. It's an okay throwback to the original Splinter Cell games and, if you can get over the ridiculous abilities of the main character, it's pretty fun. Oh, and there's no autosave, so be aware of that.

This game is really good, especially considering how old it is. The AI's fairly solid (although sometimes they are somewhat blind), and a few parts of the story are a little bit out of place, but overall it's a great game. There are quite a few cool strategic items that can be crafted from basic components, and the maps have plenty of hiding places. Enemies are able to lose you but will work together to corner you at times. The campaign lasted about twelve hours for me, but that includes a lot of searching and backtracking for items, because that's the kind of player I am. Someone who just rushes through might only take six hours to finish the game.

The mechanics are solid, the graphics are nice for the time it was published, the sound is well-done, the levels are challenging, and the gameplay is fun overall. If you like third-person stealth-'em-ups then this is the game for you. Even if it is a bit over 8 years old, it's still worth the five dollars, or perhaps a tad more.

This game is awsome it may be little out of date but it plays very well it has an engageing story and a cool comic'esk style for the cut sceens it's stealth system is solid and it has awsome music.

now for the stats

Gameplay 8/10 the only real problems i have with the gameplay is that it can be hard to place traps in the right spot some times.

Visuals 6.5/10 I would like to set this higher but it's was only just par in 05 and it hasent aged well but this mostly comes from the few cut sceens done with the game engine itself and those are few and far inbetween

Audio 8/10 great ambient music and thrilling chase music are great for setting the tone for this game! My only complant is that while crouching you footsteps sometimes get out of sync and i tricks you into thinking that there is a guard nearbye that isent or visce versa (witch is much worse but much rarer)

Realism 4/10 Granted this is a strange stat but i had to add it, the items you use to caft your tools would never work for what you are makeing (such as a alarm clock and a can makeing a slingshot or a plastic bottle and bullets makeing rubber bullets)this isent a big deal but for those of you who like to have your games as real as possible you should know.

Replayabilaty 9.3/10 While the story doest change there are 4 gamemodes and 3 diffuculty levels aswell as the fun of replaying a level just to see if you can do it another way.

My summary this game is awsome and for a $5 it is a must have for fans of the genre.

If you have any questions please let me know in the comments.

P.S. forgot to metion Sterotpying is a big 11/10 evry guard want ciggeretts and vodka I mean evry single one of them!

Worth the money, reminds a little of Splinter Cell, but a nice story and good execution, a bit shabby on the graphics part. I have yet to encounter a single bug and the game runs without demanding too much work from the machine. 8/10 pretty good

A really cool action and kinda stealth(ish) game. I personally like all the gadget and gizmo stuff you can use to defeat your enemies on this game! I bought this game during a sale and I found this game totally worth playing! 10/10

This is one of those games where you can immerse yourself in and have fun, and that's what really counts.When you're not playing it you will be thinking about it and you will actually want to continue playing it, which is rare for me (it usually means the game is good).This reason alone combined with the small pricetag is why it should be welcomed as an addition to your library. So if you haven't played it, I recommend checking it out, even if it is made around 2005, which in my oppinion is when gaming started to really get good so don't overlook it. It's not that dated, really. A definite must have for any power gamer.

I played thid game a half an hour and its okay you know not great but not bad. I am lets playing it but won't post for a while thats why I don't have that much play time on it becasue I want to record it.

Splintercell, Death to spies, Velvet assasin fans all need a coy of this game!

Pros:-The story is short and sweet! You do not need to care about your guy, you are a CIA assassin!- For a 2005 game this has some really good animation and asthetics. The models are very human like, and have a lot of personality.- AI is very smart. No aimlessly running into things. They seek cover, or seek you and attack.

-Hard core reaslism! No standing there as they riddle you with round after round. If you get shot, YOU GET SHOT! Stealth is the key.

-Guns are very realistic too. None of this "snipe with my handgun crap lilke in splintercel. Tou need to be really close to use a handgun, just like in real life. Stealth is the key to this game.

-Levels are very well made. Trees are animates. Lights and ambient sounds are all there.

- Great post processing for 2005! You get a MSAA like AA in this game by default! very nice looking atmosphere.

CONS:

it is from 2005, Yes you will need to play it in 4:3 aspect ratio, but it has so much character you will not care

This is not some crappy console port, expect to play with your full keyboard. Xbox and other controller ,Controls can be used but Mouse and Keyboard are essential in the few times you need to make snap shots.

Conclusion:

10/10, For a 2005 game, and a "GIVEAWAY" pricetag in the steam summer sale, I say this is a MUST buy! (even if you dont like stealth games it is really good)

I really recommend this game. It truly is an awesome game :D I bought this game because I wanted a new challange and because I am interested in the cold war. But sinds I started playing this game for the first time I can't stop playing this game ever anymore XD
